These data were collected in conjunction with an evaluation
of the Arizona court reform effective December 1, 1995, to permit
jurors in civil cases to discuss the evidence prior to
deliberations. The datasets consist of survey responses by judges,
jurors, attorneys, and litigants in all civil cases conducted in
Maricopa, Pima, Mohave, and Yavapai counties in Arizona between June
15, 1997, and January 31, 1998. Civil cases in the participating
courts were randomly assigned to one of two experimental conditions:
(1) jurors were told they could discuss the evidence prior to
deliberation according to Rule 39(f) of the Arizona Rules of Civil
Procedure, or (2) jurors were told they could not discuss the evidence
per the previous admonition. The datasets contain survey responses
under both conditions. Part 1, Case Characteristics Data, contains
information from two questionnaires completed by judges about the
lawsuit, the parties, the trial procedures, and the case outcome. The
data in Part 2, Juror Questionnaire Data, cover jurors' views
regarding the complexity of the case, the importance of witnesses and
testimonies, and attorneys' performances. The variables in Part 3,
Attorney Questionnaire Data, offer information on attorneys' opinions
of the jurors, the opposing counsel, and the verdict. Part 4, Litigant
Questionniare Data, consists of litigants' views regarding the jurors
and the verdict. Demographic data include respondents' gender, age,
race, income, and job status.
